If you were going to use 30 amp outlets, you'd need to use 30 amp plugs as

use more 20 amp receptacles

Do you mean I can hook multiple 20A outlets to a 30A circuit and as
long as I don't draw more than 20A from any single outlet (and don't
go over 30A cumulative) I'm ok? Wouldn't that have a danger of
drawing more than the outlet can handle w/o the breaker tripping? Or
perhaps nothing that draws more than 20A would ever be able to plug
into a 20A receptacle?

Since you want to put Two duplex outlets into a box, put one on one
20A breaker and the other on another 20A breaker. Put several of
these in the room on separate breakers. I'd run at least 6 breakers
for that room. If your panel lacks spaces. run a sub panel in that
room, off a 60A main from the house panel. You can easily buy 6 or 8
breaker sub boxes. I'd go for the 8 or even a 10 for expansion, and
maybe put a 100A sub in the main panel. Of course you need thicker
wire to feed the thing and you need enough power coming into the house
to start with.
